A new lump near the perineum around day 10 after a normal delivery is most often one of three things: a small collection of blood or fluid in the healing tissue, a reaction to the cream or to a suture knot, or the beginning of a local infection. Healing tissue can also feel firm and lumpy for a few weeks as it remodels, which is normal. What separates these is how the lump looks and feels, so it needs an examination.
Next Steps
Please have your obstetrician look at the area in the next day or two rather than waiting for your six week visit. Keep the area clean and dry and continue only what your doctor has prescribed.
Health Tips
Fever, increasing pain, spreading redness, or any discharge with an odour means you should be seen the same day.
